I use the API, not the chat site.

Since 30 June, the API responses are making common English misspelling errors, of the type where two words sound the same with different meanings such as break and brake.

I saw this happen zero times in the prior GPT-4 model, and multiple times this July, on multiple conversation topics and multiple word pairs.

Curiously, they're behaving as misspellings rather than mismeanings, since the sentence continuation is as if the correct meaning had been used.

I acknowledge this could be a blend of pareidolia and the Baader-Meinhof phenomenon.




I've 100% noticed a steep decline in the quality of things like grammar, sentence structure, spelling, and syntax in the last few weeks.

GPT-4 used to write with consistent under-grad level quality. Now it's closer to a junior high school kid.


Noticed this myself for the first time ever a couple days ago.


I had to switch back a chatbot from GPT-4 current to gpt-4-0314 to make it work again (knowledge retrieval / context stuffing).
